The defense of Marcelo Frisoni, ex-husband of Ana Maria Braga—arrested earlier this week in Osceola County, Florida, amid watch theft suspicions—issued a statement denying any robbery charges. They clarified the police report lists 'battery – simple touch or strike' from a verbal dispute, describing watch-related issues as civil matters.
Responding to media coverage of Frisoni's detention, his lawyers emphasized: 'The arrest of Mr. Marcelo Frisoni had no relation to alleged watch robbery.' The incident stemmed from a confrontation over a watch his girlfriend brought from Brazil, but no property crime was charged. Frisoni cooperated with authorities. The defense highlighted the alleged victim's prior conviction for public document forgery (5 years and 7 months by São Paulo's TJ-SP court) and discrepancies, such as the girlfriend's stated U.S. arrival conflicting with migration records. They warned of legal action against inaccurate reporting. The case remains under Florida court investigation.
